Melissa received your block today! It is so beautiful and so appropriate! Thank you I sent Thea a pic too! I haven't been able to get on QCA today to post this. Sorry! So tired of that! Again just beautiful!! Also Melissa thank you so much for the lovely card and gift! I love it, your so thoughtful!!

Candis, I would love to make a block for Jules if the mail date is still the end of Feb. If so please send me your address. Purple and blue batiks, right? I'll have to get some fat quarters down here in Florida to make it. I took my sewing machine but only took fabric to work on my Downton Abbey quilt.

BTW, I had trouble with the site as well yesterday.

Thank you Marie, I sent you a PM. Thea usually answers these, but I figured since I am having hit and miss luck getting on here, others may be too! Thank you very much! Yes the deadline is the same. Just as soon as peeps can get them to me I will construct! Florida!! Nice!! And oh darn, shopping for some fabric!! What a drudge!! Lol. And oh yes, Purple or blue batiks, or a combo of both,,

Candis and Thea, thanks for the suggestions on getting my block to be 12 1/2 inches. I tried the scant 1/4 ", I tried different thread, I gave up! The latest block came out to 13" but to cut it down to 12 1/2" would cut off some points around the edges. So I started all over with a different block that does not have all those pieces. I ended up using a block from a table runner pattern from some magazine. This is the one that I'll be sending to you, Candis. I'll mail it next week after I get this last cast off my ankle.

Carol! Bless your heart!! I'm so sorry none of those tricks worked, must be the pattern, some are just bad. Sometimes I just cut my pieces bigger, Anyway, this block is gorgeous ! I love it!! Love the pattern and the delicious colors! It's gonna look great in the quilt. Don't forget to sign your name on the front! Especially after all the blocks you made, and if you want to send the ones that didn't make the cut. Go ahead, I will be adding sashing to blocks and may be able to fix sizes this way. It's up to you, but you've worked so hard on them! It is all appreciated!! Thank you!
